Impact Statements

An impact statement is a brief summary—using diagrams, photos, key facts, and lay terminology—of why an IPM challenge matters and what we’ve accomplished in response to that challenge.

It describes a known pest problem and its ramifications, and then illustrates the real-world improvements achieved by the work we coordinate and support in terms of economic, environmental, and human-health benefits.

This shines a spotlight on the critical work being conducted by researchers and educators as well as the ongoing need for that work in response to ever-evolving pest threats.
